Blank screen and long bios/windows boot times after new hardware install

Status
Not open for further replies.
So my girlfriend just got the 4070 ti super, (Ill leave the full build below) and after installing it we ran into major issues. Prior to install she had been using the system for about 2 months off integrated graphics just fine and was waiting for a GPU. After we installed it on boot we got a black screen with a static underscore with no way to interact with it. Eventually we figured out if we let it set for 10-20 minutes the bios would begin to boot and then 5-10 minutes later or by entering the bios and then selecting boot into windows via the boot drive and that would take another 5-15 minutes. After a lot of trial and error we figured out the card just didnt have any drivers and we installed them and found a few other really weird things like device manager saying the integrated graphics and the 4070 were being used for display adapters. Ran a USB with windows repair, then went thru the CMD and did a windows repair script there too. Reset bios back to factory defaults as well and updated the card to the latest drivers. Yet every time we boot the system theres that almsot half hour of waiting I originally described. Once past that insanely long wait to get into windows there is no problem at all. Files load incredibly fast, games can be played at high resolution and frame rates its just back on this insanely long wait that I have no Idea what I could be.

Both storage devices are never before used NVME drives

The boot drive is a HP nvme of sorts and the other a Samsung 980 pro
b650I arorus Motherboard
7600x CPU
64GB of ram (By crucial I believe)
